Frequently Asked QuestionsLast Updated on 2009-03-31 21:24:19
A: The Digital Universe is a new, free, online information resource, a Web application that lets users view an editorially defined subset of credible information. Call it a PBS of the Internet. The vision of the Digital Universe is to create a space in which it will be possible to organize the sum total of human knowledge and make it available to everyone. Running on a platform hosted by Trunity Networks, the Digital Universe lets users navigate through a visual taxonomy of nature and society. The taxonomy consists of expert-created portals (e.g. the Earth Portal, the Cosmos Portal, the Human Rights Portal). In any portal you will eventually find every type of information on that topic: websites, essays, encyclopedia articles, books, images, sounds, forums, etc., sorted by type. The Digital Universe is being built by a growing group of scholars, educators and experts of all sorts.
